My second read of a natl intelligence conspiracy to hide the truth behind the killing of five slave prostitutes. A gripping story. (2005)Very good next in series. Jane Rizzoli is in labor at hospital when two supposed terrorists hold her and others hostage trying to expose a sex slave ring. From Publishers WeeklyRetired internist Gerritsen serves up another prescription for bad dreams in her latest thriller to feature Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli (Body Double). The catalogue of terrors this time out includes sexual slavery, hostage-taking and torture; there are also government bad guys, post?9/11 red herrings and a heart-tugging cadre of young Eastern European women known only by their first names. Fierce Olena, thought dead, wakes up in Maura's morgue, recovers in the hospital, and¥with the help of a mysterious colleagueÂ¥takes a group of hostages, including Jane, who's about to give birth. Jane's husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, tries to reason with the hostage-takers, and learns that Olena wants publicity to bring down the Washington bigwig responsible for sexually enslaving, then murdering, her friends. Maura feels a frisson for Tribune columnist Peter Lukas, and he seems to be the guy to tell the story, but readers will quickly apprehend that he's playing both sides. As usual, the medical details are vivid and read authentic, while the action is just this side of super-hero comic exaggeration. Medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles discovers that one of the corpses awaiting autopsy in her morgue isn't actually dead. She is rushed to the Emergency Room where she kills a security guard and takes a hostage - Jane Rizzoli. Jane is about to give birth when she becomes a hostage in this crisis. The woman calls in a friend who is well-known to the police since he is accused of murdering a Highway Patrol officer who stopped his car and fleeing the scene. Both of the hostage takers have a story to tell and Jane wants to listen. But, before they can tell their story, a crisis team from Washington, DC, breaks in and kills both of the hostage takers. The woman gives Jane a final message: Find Mina. Mina knows. Jane gives birth to her daughter, but she still has many questions about the whole experience of being a hostage. So does Maura Isles. Both wondered why the crime was taken from the Boston PD and became Federal so fast. As they look into things along with Jane's husband FBI Agent Gabriel Dean, they discover a conspiracy reaching all the way to the White House and involving many branches of US Intelligence. From a house full of Russian prostitutes in Virginia to a major defense contractor making billions off the war in Afghanistan the conspiracy is massive. They don't know who they can trust from the FBI since everyone is keeping secrets. I enjoyed this fast-paced thriller. It is the fifth book in a series but the first that I have read. I'll be looking for more from this author and in this series. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
